Don’t forget to add **Verrain** to the list of maybes. I don’t really see me showing up without him. 😃 ---

“And child” is Matthew. He and Dominic and the Blueskids can swim in the waterfall, right? Baby Kate is of course much too well behaved for such foolishness. RTFirefly may be another story. ---

Ginger: Sorry. I was going with the theme of “and baby” “and spousal unit”. Then I forgot that I was doing that and listed Aaron. Heh. Wasn’t meant as a slight, I swear. ---

Aaron’s gonna need a highchair, too. He’s getting to be such a big boy. Sadly, my own spousal unit won’t be able to make it. ☹ Robin ---

I called the restaurant and they said to make the reservation 2 weeks in advance. :eek: So sometime in the next 2 weeks we need to get a good approximation of the numbers, including high chair requirements. ---

I dunno, Ginger. I’ve seen you eat at the table and I am thinking maybe a high chair would be a good idea… Of course, it was Hamadryad who spilled coke into the deviled eggs… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FairyChatMom \* > There’s gonna be swimming?!?!? > > [sub]I’m better behaved than **RTF** - truly!![/sub] That ain’t saying much, **FCM**! Put me down as a ‘probably’. And I’ll check with the spousal unit to see if she might be there. Of course, if there’s swimming in the waterfall, she’ll probably stay home just so I don’t embarrass her. 😃 ---

My spousal unit is amenable, even tho he thinks Dopers are weird. 😃 I trust you’ll have the decency to order up milder weather for that weekend? I _am_ a flower of southern womanhood after all. I am! Quit snickering. ---

\ And, of course, **Ginger** , you are a snowflake goddess - beautiful, unique, delicate… Truly what I aspire to be one day. Have we hijacked this enough? No? Did you hear my husband is working in Havre de Grace now?? OK, back to the party talk!
